St. Lawrence Iroquoians, Corn People
From November 7th 2006 to May 6th 2007

At one time the Northern Iroquoian language groups comprised about 120,000 people in some 25 nations, spread out over 230,000 km2 – an area the size of Great Britain – stretching along both sides of the St. Lawrence River, east of the Great Lakes and down into present-day northern New York State. These Iroquoians were essentially horticulturists, growing mainly maize, or corn.
